The Taunt
by Frank C. McCarthy
In his long and storied career, Frank McCarthy earned renown for
many things—his attention to detail, his insistence on historical
accuracy, his first-rate storytelling ability—but none were
more celebrated than his eye for design. “The Dean of Western
Action,” as he came to be known, brought from his early days
as a commercial illustrator an understanding of visual design that
makes his action-packed paintings the finest of their type.
In The Taunt, a band of Plains warriors
races across the prairie with their opponents in hot pursuit. The
frenetic action of the story is made infinitely more exciting by
McCarthy’s compelling design, which leads the viewer’s
eye through the painting like a hawk tracking a hare. Any serious
collector of Western art cannot consider their collection complete
if it does not contain a McCarthy, who is truly an original American
master!

Buffalo in Storm
by James Bama
Ask James Bama why he went into Western art and he will tell you
quite plainly: he didn’t. “Norman
Rockwell lived in New England and so he painted small town scenes
and harbors. I happen to live out West, so I paint the Indians,
ranchers and landscapes I see.” Bama’s portraits of today’s
denizens of the West are thoroughly modern, but their occupations,
dress and spirit echo those of their predecessors centuries ago.
More than any other animal, the buffalo embodies the rugged tenacity
required to survive on the frontier.The day Bama encountered this
buffalo, the snow was fourteen inches deep and the animal’s
coat and hooves were crusted with ice, but still the animal ventured
on.This evocative winter scene follows in the footsteps of the immensely
successful Chuck Wagon in the Snow, Old
Saddle in the Snow and Old Sod House.
